According to Pegg, the crew of the Enterprise is two years into their five year mission. They have “come to rest at a Federation outpost,” said Pegg; “a sort of diplomatic hub.”

“What’s the point of it [The Federation] all?” is the question that the film will try to answer, said Pegg. “We’re gathering a great community within the galaxy, but to what end? What does it all mean?”
